A Light DaWned on Him.

Correspondence Philadelphia Press.
l heard very good story to-day,
apropos, of the zeal of a good many
sC-called revenue reformers. An
Eastern wooden manufacturer, who
had so far perfected his machinery,
increased its speed and made his
labor more effective as to have reach
ed the conclusion few years ago
that with raw wool as cheap as he
thought he could get it if it could be
imported free of duty he could get
along with protective tariff on his
manufactured product, joined the
free traders, became Mugwump and
voted for Cleveland. AS he had be-
fore been a prominent Republican
and been honored by his party, his
desertion of his political colors in
iured his party much more than the
simple loss of his vote.
In the meantime, during visit to
France, he has become interested in
the Solve process of making soda-a
process which, while it leaves the
manufacture no by-products as the
ordinary method does, is so much
cheaper than the latter as to make it
certain to supplant the old process
wherever 1t is used. Associating with
himself some other capitalists, ne
purchased of the inventor the ex-
elusive right to make soda in this
country by the Solve process, acquir-
ing some valuable salt rights in the
United States, and erected a plant,
the entire expenditure being about
S1.250,00. They met with the usual
misfortunes and discouragements, and
would have failed if they had not
been rich, but at length they have
gotten upon their feet and have
bright prospect before them.
After the Red Top conference re.
port was printed in some Eastern
newspaper that among the articles of
raw materials that would be placed
on the free list was soda. The man
who had been so anxious to have the
duty on wool repealed was at once
alarmed. He fastened to his Con-
gresham 10 find out something about
it and to see if something couldn't
be done to prevent such a calamity.
He said that he and his associates
had put their money into the bust

makers, who were required to pay
$40 ton for their soda before the
Slove process was introduced into
this country, were now buying it at
$50.
His Congressional representative
told him that he had just made the
strongest kind of speech against
putting wool on the free list, and,

A Popular Prince.

The Prince of Wales is popular be-
cause he goes everywhere and Gu, tivates
the good will of the public. He IS not
regarded as brilliant man, but man
OF much more than ordinary executive
capacity. He is what the English call
clever He is thoroughly well educated
in the science of modern politics. This
is one of the rules of his life. Some of
his friends think that this is great
mistake upon his part; that he could be
an influential factor in politics if he 50
desired, and could make for himself
something of a career beyond the social
one which seems to thoroughly satisfy
him. He is the member of the House
of Lords and can vote and take part in
the debates there when he pleases.
The only part he has ever taken in
legislation was TO 90 into the House of
Lords and advocate the passage through
his personal influence of the bill to per-
NIT a marriage between man and a
sister of a deceased wife. This was
the popular side of the question, but his
influence was not sufficient to carry it
through the House of Lords He does mot
himself think that he will ever be king
This is his excuse given for his snoring
politics and giving himself up to social
life. His mother is in much better
health than he, and without any doubt
barring accidents, is good for the next
twenty years. There are a number of
people in England who think that
Queen Victoria will never have any
royal successor; that by the time she
passes away England will have become
an actual Republic, even in name

baths In Persia.

The public baths are another source
of pleasure to the lower class of
Persians They are nearly, if not quite,
as numerous rs the tea-houses The big
majority of them are very meanly built
of sun-baked mud bricks. and So care
lessly constructed that the roof of one
fell in while | was in Teheran and
drove the score of women who were
bathing at the time in precipitous
flight through the streets TO their
homes, clad in nothing but their native
modesty, to the great Qualification of

little boy, in a spirit of playful mischief
had been poking on the top of this
roof, sticking pole through it. The
boy broke leg, but the women es-
capped uniniured save in the manner
aforesaid. The towels uscd ia there by
the customers, male and female, are
never washed, but dried in the sun,
hung up on strings along the wall
facing the street.
The price of bath is generally
between two cents and ten cents, which
sum includes the services Of the cham
mamdjees" Servants and professional
kneaders in the bath) There are
common tanks filled with hot water, in
which the first additions are performed.
The water in these tanks, although
often serving for 200 to 500 persons a
day, is changed about twice week,
seldom oftener, 50 there is not much
fun about bathing in there. But the
fun begins when the hather emerges
from the tank. when he or she is
kneaded. combed. anointed, dyed, etc,
these offices being performed for the
men by the hammamdjee and for the
women reciprocally. The women
resort much more to the baths than the
men, not because they are cleaner, bat
because the Koran obliges them TO,
and because the bath is the great place
for gossip, the focus whence all the
scandalmonging, all the idle tales and
all the backbiting, of which Persian
women are so fond, radiate.

Give praise where praise is due and
when 1t is due. Few people realize the
widely different effects produced by
bringing into prominence the good OF
bad points of mans character. To
do the former stimulates his powers,
encourages him To make fresh efforts,
inspires him with hope, and payes the
way for correction of faults. To do the
latter depresses the nature. produces
! gloom, dependency aud fear, and
actually weakens the very powers
which are needed to battle with the
wrong just as the wise physician,
by bailding up the general system and
/ establishing the healthful discharge OF
| functions. does far more to eradicate
disease than he could by any direct
efforts upon the disease itself. so the
cheerful encouragement of all that is
good in the character of man will be
more eifectual in restraining faults than
any direct attack on the faults and
errors themselves.
There is one form of praise which is
specially acceptable and even more
beneficial at times than direct words of
approval Ii is that tacit trust and
confidence in the honor OF the good in
tentions of others which, while leaving
them free To act, inspires Il strong
desire in them 10 deserve the
trust reposed. No one who has tested
the power of this confidence will ever
| mn In H.. IN,
school, the employer with his men, the
parent in the family, will assuredly
reap rs they SOW in this respect If
they are suspicious, even watching for
derelictions of duty and standing ready
TO detect and denounce them, they will
find a plentiful crop. If, on the other
hand, they take IL for granted that those
under their charge are truthful and
honorable. and in the main DESTROYS of
doing right. always treating opposite
conduct as exceptions TO the rule, they
will instil an earnest desire to prove
worthy of the good opinion thus held.
So strong a tendency is there in man TO
Justify the opinion entertained of him
that it frequently only needs continual
repetition of any charge to make it
really true!
The child who is always suspected
and accused of dishonesty may be pro-
voked TO be dishonest; he who is always
tainted with being duh, or awkard, or
selfish. may soon be incapable of over
coming these tendencies. If, on the
other hand, he be respected and trust
ed, he will insensibly prove his just
claim to those considerations, and the
correction of his faults viii be a COM
paratively easy task.
He who seeks for and emphasizes the
good in others is not only blessing and
improving them, but himself also. Envy
is thus laid low, all the more amiable
qualities are brought out, the habit of
giving happiness is in itself Joy, and
the manifest benefits thus conferred are
fully shared by the giver. Ii seems a
little thing 10 praise what we admire,
to utter the pleasant things we feel,
and 10 cherish a spirit of trustfulness;
but could we only know how often fail
ing energies are thus refreshed. despon-
dency chased away, hope and enthusi-
asm inspired and love and confidence
established we should hastento embrace
so simple, so delightful and so effectual
